Final Boat Project- Boat Building Day
Your boat MUST be built by you, not parents (parents can hold and suggest but it is your boat).
Your boat must be:
- Waterproof--- never sinks or soaks up water
- Float--- never sinks
- Stable on the water--- doesn't tip to one side
- Able to carry a load--- able to carry at least 1 apple
- Propels through water --- able to travel 2 lengths of the bathtub at least
In your video recording please talk about the following before you show your boat in the tub:
-
What is your boat made out of?
-
What are the parts of your boat? (use scientific words)
-
What does each part do for your boat? Why did you decide to use that material for that part of your boat?
-
How will your boat move through the water?
-
What is the best part of your boat?
-
What would you change about your boat to make it better?
To record your video, clip on the Green plus (Flipgrid) link. Click on sign in with Microsoft. Use your Teams Login (Username is your school email address and Password is your Student Number)
Make sure to speak loudly, and slowly enough for the viewer (Mrs. Fuller) to be able to understand you.

Plasticine Ship Transporters-
Before the Experiment: Think of what kind of boat you would like to make with your plasticine. Draw your boat in your Hypothesis box. Make sure to colour and label your drawing.
During the Experiment: Using pennies or small blocks... try to see how much weight your boat can hold. Make sure to count every penny you put into your boat. The number you boat can hold is the amount BEFORE it sinks. Record the number of pennies your boat holds.
Make adjustments to your boat to try to make your boat better. Try again.
Conclusion: What made your boat so good?
Vocabulary
- boat: a small vessell on water that moves by oars, sails, or an engine.
- load: anything that weighs down a boat, or is put on a boat.

Day 2 Building your own Thermos
- What worked well yesterday? What didn't work well? How can you make your thermos better?
